Doug Cooper Spencer is the author of the novels: 'This Place of Men', 'People Like Us' and 'Leaving Gomorrah' (the three books in the 'This Place of Men Trilogy'), as well as a book written as an epistle: 'A Letter to A Friend: Thoughts on Living As A Gay Man'.

He has also written numerous essays, short stories and autobiographical memoirs which he calls ‘memory pieces’.

Doug lectures at The University of Cincinnati in the areas of race, LGBTQ culture and development, and creative writing. Doug also serves on The University of Cincinnati’s LGBTQA faculty and staff advisory board. His four plus decades as an advocate for SGL/T rights and racial equality has enriched his life and given him a treasure of history and wisdom that he often uses in his lectures and writing.

Currently Doug is at work on a fourth novel, as well as a collection of short stories and memory pieces as well as a screenplay.
